Su Cuy Gar, Vode! While I haven't posted anything recently due to schooling, I've been a member here for a couple years and have some experience working with sheet metal. I was wondering if anyone out there was interested in aluminum armor plates (chest, breastplate, belly, maybe shoulder bells). The material would be .050" thick aircraft grade aluminum (5056 h32 if you'd like to look up the specs). It's very lightweight, and easily primed and painted.

As of yet, I haven't secured a supply of material or worked out the dimensions; I wanted to see if there was interest before I bought a bunch of aluminum I wouldn't otherwise use.

I'll gauge the level of interest and let y'all know what the situation is.

"at $50US for the set, i think i would be very interested. im sure using .50 metal plates would look great."

EDIT: GCNgamer128 is probably right. I guess I was a bit sleepy when I read the thread first, for I misread the ".050" as ".50" (see quote above). 5/100ths of an inch is pretty thin. Id probably prefer something much thicker to make sure the armor had the right "look" of thick armor.
